The same could be said about the Saver 6 tickets which could have been
bought at the old price before the fares went up and used after.

True. It's only a recent thing, though - I'm fairly sure that 1st and
2nd class stamps used to have the price printed on them, so if you had
a load and the price went up you had to go to the Post Office and buy
a load of 1 or 2p stamps to be able to use them.
